Could we get a public-end to the gateway?

Gateway is great and all, but what's the fun in having sweet-*** armor if you can't show it off to your friends?
The character sheet has an image, but you cant even share it outside your login session (you have to be logged into the gateway to even see the image), and the naming convention is random (instead of giving the image the name of something memorable, such as your character's name, the image's name is random numbers). So even if you were to lift the login requirement, it would be very difficult to dynamically embed an image based on a person's character name and username.
Same goes for guilds, you can't see them outside the gateway's login session. I think the gateway should have an optional login so that we can integrate Neverwinter into our own guildsites. If this is too much work for the cryptic team, perhaps some of the developers of Neverwinter can team up to make a website and PW/Cryptic can give us our own database with information such as guild rosters, character gear, etc.

Firstly thanks for the gateway its great service to assign my crafters to do different assignments when I'm offline from game
I'd also like to see some sort of web api like in blizzard games (wow, d3) so I could then make my own windows phone / iPhone app to show the info about my characters. Could the devs please consider adding this functionality and publish as well the api similarly to this? http://blizzard.github.io/api-wow-docs
Precisely what I mean!
So far, all I've been able to do is take a manual list of guilds and put them into a database to jumpstart a guild-directory project (very similar to what was done for guild wars 2). I'm hoping that with some proof of concept, cryptic would be more willing to spend some time on this.

On a side note - the gateway still isn't working on many android devices.
This. It is very hit or miss for me as well. Not sure why it should be an issue, since you access with a browser, but it won't accept my button presses most of the time or it won't stay on the popup to assign a worker.
Very cool feature, but need it to work better.
Because I don't run a company, nor planning on doing this for profit, I'd definitely need some help with development, as my specialty is limited to just web design. If we just got our own database from Cryptic, we could even make the API with which devlopers like ixoth could further extend integration of Neverwinter.
(In Simple Language: This would be the start of dynamic signatures, images, webpages, and more; all based on your character(s)/guild(s).)
This forum is way to active for an obscure topic like this, haha. Thanks for the interest.
